Alright friends, grab a protein shake and get ready because I’m about to share the recipe that’s been fueling my workouts lately.
Those low-carb, high-protein Asian chicken lettuce wraps from P.F. Chang’s are pretty tasty, but between you and me, mine are WAY better — and way healthier too!
I’m talkin’ packed with muscle-building protein to help you crush your goals.
These bad boys have been my go-to post-workout meal for weeks now.
They’re loaded with perfectly seasoned and tender chicken breast that’ll have your muscles recoverin’ in no time.
But more than that, they’re simply delicious.
The sauce is to die for — rich, tangy, and full of flavor from peanut butter, soy sauce, and a secret ingredient (hint: it rhymes with trader ho-ay’s sweet chili sauce).
Once you wrap it all up in crisp lettuce and devour it, you’ll be ready for round two in the weight room.
Alright, time for the deets.
